I used 230Mb large Ubuntu OS image from ICPH, tempalte name "ubuntu-10.04-minimal_10.04_i386-resolvgoogle" (or without resolvgoogle)
After it is applied on the VPS and running (VNC connected), it is using:
20Mb RAM
364Mb HDD
There is no webbrowser and its quite useless install
How this VNC+x-window-manager desktop was installed:
# apt-get install vnc4server
# vncserver
Then login via an VNC client yourserverip:1
---
After firefox web browser is installed (apt-get install firefox) and http://internetlifeforum.com/ webpage launched:
225Mb RAM
765Mb HDD
Start VNCServer on boot? (alas for me did not work , and i have tried various methods)
